AVON — “Made in the USA” is a mark of pride well worth celebrating, and the town of Avon rolls out the red carpet for this third annual salute to all things American — from craft beer and domestic wines to homegrown culinary delights, fine arts, music and more. Reds, Whites & Brews American Made Festival returns to the Vail Valley today and Saturday as the perfect prelude to the July Fourth holiday.

Festival-goers can expect live music from American bands, creative works and competitions featuring American artists, a variety of American-inspired food, American craft beer and wine tastings and American-made crafts and products.

“We are excited for the music line-up this year featuring Grammy Award winner Shelby Lynne, as well as Cody Canada and the Departed and others,” said Jen Radueg, events director for Radiate Live Events & Always Mountain Time, the event producer. “The event features nearly 30 American wineries and more than 20 American craft breweries, as well as a variety of vendors and artists. This event is a ‘don’t-miss’ kick-off to the Fourth of July holiday.”
